“So Good”
Holy Boy
RKD Music 2010

Holy Boy’s 2009 album Out of Time was resplendent with smooth, hook-laden urban contemporary gospel tracks, but on his latest single, “So Good,” the Mobile, Alabama native is 100 percent country church.
“Well I hear y’all clapping your hands like you’re from the country,” Holy Boy (Herbert Woods) declares at the outset, as his musicians make it near impossible not to clap, laying down an infectious quartet two-step beat and performing blues-style guitar runs and cascades. With a delivery reminiscent of Keith “Wonderboy” Johnson, Holy Boy performs an autobiographical song of thanks “for all the things God brought us through…I just can’t tell it all.”
